I have to admire the work gone into that, even if it is illegal :glance:

Entitled to you opinion but I'd be happier in a room of stoned lads than a room of drunk ones, I think the best way to explain it is the video by The Streets, can't remember what track but it's 2 versions of him, one on the lash causing trouble and the other getting stoned just chilling with mates.Drugs are drugs at the end of the day

I know people who have taken ecstacy and handle it well but some people can't (but thats like alcohol).
I don't. Drugs are drugs at the end of the day.
at this moment I'm enjoying the buzz of a pro plus,
Anyone want 2's on this joint?
but there have been times I HAD to do it.
At least weed makes people relaxed. Alcohol just makes them violent.
goldstar0011 said:On defence of alchol, not everyone gets violent .
Yeah but on the plus side there liver is okThey are now parranoid, unsociable and pretty unstable in their overall personality as well.
goldstar0011 said:So you're the one who's right Ed?
Not saying weed is better than booze but it has less effect on lifes than booze, I've been or paraniod trips for weeks, so cut back (when I was a teenager).
But the way alcohol is advertised and the price and offers in towns makes it easier to get drunk so quick.
With soft drugs often the money ends up in the hands of people who will fund crime, serious crime such as people trafficking, harder drugs, prostition etc..
wilsonian said:Then take a leaf out of the dutch book. Legalise it. give the "drug runners" no work to do and not only that but the goverment could get a tax income on it. hell I don't mind paying the tax man a little for my slice of peace.
Anyway, if you need to chill out - take a valium!
I have to disagree with the people that say alcohol makes people violent.

59 bhp is more than enough said:on the whole gateway drug thing i think its partially true because a lot of the people i used to know started on ganja and moved to harder things. but then again they all started smoking tobbaco first and from my experiance this is the true gateway drug if there ever was one.
I meant me lol I know YOU get loved up when drunk, I have the phonecall to prove it stillArnold said:Well, Ems can explain what i meant by that if she wishes to!!!
goldstar0011 said:The gateway drug is 100% right though, thats were people would need to be smart, when I used to I'd make sure I got it from a mate, he knew were I stood IF he got anything harder, gladly he never, but I would say if someone went to a drug dealer and not a dope only dealer then you are loads more likely to get a free sample of something harder and more expensive.
Alcohol being legal is a main cause for all the trouble, because weed is illegal but relaxed laws it is consummed in private in doors so if something happens, someone gets violent etc it is dealt with privately, but because you can drink alcohol in like 15 clubs in one small area the trouble is centralised and escalates with all the idiots who think they're the incredile hulk starting on everyone.
But tobacco, it upsets me that there's a high enough chance I will watch my mom die from lung cancer since she's smoked for years, she will suffer, my family will suffer all because the Government made plenty of money from her addiction.
Arnold said:I hate it when people say they cant stop, its absolute crap!
People that say they cant arent trying hard enough, and will look for any excuse to keep going! I say this as i know a few people who've managed to just stop, no patches, no therapy, nothing and they're still going fine without them. If you've got a valid reason to give up, like, not wanting to die and leave your kids behind or something, then that should be a big enough reason to just make you stop - rather than using patches and all that other crap.
Ian said:aye, but how much would the govenment lose in tax? Millions? Hundreds of millions? I believe that it the sole reason they won't ban it.
I hate it when people say they cant stop, its crap! If someone can give up instantly then why cant the next person!?
Arnold said:How much will they save on national health tho.. No more 'give up smoking' hotlines, no more give up smoking adverts on TV!! Lol, fewer people ending up in hospitals, taking up beds, operating time etc, It works both ways!
wilsonian said:But arnold if u haven't tried, don't be going around mouthing that off. I find that offensive as I've tried bloody dam hard to quit tobacco!
Arnold said:What have you tried exactly, and why find it offensive!? Im only saying i know people that have given up just like that - if they can, i dont see any reason why anyone else cant!!
So i havent smoked, but im sure smoking has the same addiction qualities as other things! I used to be addicted to diet coke, and would drink about 5 pints a day!! i managed to give that up at New year. Ok so its not going to give me lung cancer, but probably didnt do me any good!! My dentist wasnt impressed either
